Just got Nokia Lumia 920! Seems Pentaband WCDMA as well as LTE!! See pics!

HoFo user hkalltheway picked up a Nokia Lumia 920 on Rogers yesterday and noticed it has pentaband HSPA + quadband LTE. Other users are also reporting that the initial batch from Rogers is unlocked. That means you can use it Bell/TELUS/Rogers/Mobilicity/Wind.

I just picked up the Lumia 920 a while ago...

Here are some interesting pics from the box AND manual, indicating this should work on Wind if unlocked!
It includes WCDMA 1700/2100

Thank you for your sharing. While the box and manual should be accurate with the information, I would rather check with the FCC and Industry Canada filings to be absolutely sure. It is because there have been exception...

Anyway, both FCC and IC filings show the Nokia Lumia 920 (RM-820) is indeed supporting the UMTS Band IV (AWS) that used by WIND, Mobilicity and Videotron, as well as LTE Band 4 (AWS) that used by Rogers, Bell and TELUS.

Scanning them, Seeing them, Picking them do not equal to"Registering" with them. The sure way, besides the emission designators certified by FCC and IC, is using the active WIND and Mobilicity SIM card to find out beyond any doubt.

Anyway, it is great to know a handset that works on virtually all major Canadian carriers here at home as well as most others around the world! Plus, factory unlocked!! Thank you for your observations again!!!

Ahh, the suspense is killing me! Can somone just stick a mobilicity/wind sim in there? Its frustrating how we have to do a physical test to find this information out. I cant wait to get this phone, but im not feeding the giants.

We contacted Nokia on the matter and they confirmed it is in error, which they will be correcting soon. That’s of course a shame for those of you who were holding out hope, as the notion of buying an unlocked Lumia 920 to run on T-Mobile’s “4G” HSPA+ network is an enticing alternative to not having that phone offered on contract.

But to be honest, it wouldn't make financial sense for Nokia to add the extra support for 1700 AWS as the cost to do so versus the amount of devices they would sell in the US would not justify the investment.

For the record, here are the official, corrected bands for the Lumia 920. Thanks for all of those who pointed this out via your tips.

Great now we have to wait 6 months for AWS version of a low-end lumia. And by then it will be be pretty old. Why can they make AWS 1700 version of the 820 but not the 920. I mean why does mobilicty/wind get the crappiest models much much later if they get them at all.

Rogers has exclusivity on the 920 in Canada so it wouldn't really matter anyways...

Aside from the fact that the article he quoted is older and thus outdated by the later article that mobilesyrup posted a few weeks back analyzing the fcc report which indicated that we would indeed get the 1700 band on the 920

I have no problem to use my keyboard to quote older articles but the information have to be accurately verified with the relevant sources. Marketing, PR personnel of the manufacturers are sometimes not the best to address / confirm specifications as such, let alone the bloggers / media who are simply relaying the messages. Remember how HTC "customer support" inaccurately answered the questions regarding the WCDMA/UMTS operations in the AWS band with the NAM variant but in reality it does not? http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...3#post14791283

There is nothing better to check with industrial test gears, analyzers, signal generators! Otherwise, learn to read test reports filed at FCC, certification listed at Industry Canada and trying out the device with active SIM cards from the targeted carriers in the real world.

In more densely populated areas you will have no problem at all for the time being. However, moving forward and especially in more rural areas, he will definitely want to get an LTE device that fully...
